Thanks!!!!Done! Buen Camino.
done and good luckDear fellow pilgrims,
My partner and I are extremely excited about opening a cozy little rural hotel on the Primitive way. It's time to take that final leap of hope and actually decide for one of the different options we're currently considering. You can help us with that decision by completing this 3 question survey, it will take less than one minute: https://forms.gle/HthAbgxmmfDfrJg46
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and for putting some of your time on this.
Hope to see many of you back on the Way soon! Ultreia!
Agreed. I chose casa rurales, as that's what I'll probably use when I go again. But I like, and have used, a variety of accommodations. I really prefer albergues, but I'll have to see how they shape up under new regulations.I did the survey, but had trouble with the second question. I prefer a mix of different types of accommodations, so it was hard to choose one answer. I chose albergues, because I usually stay in albergues more than half the time, but I enjoy the other types of accommodations too, especially when the price is good.
Done! I second @trecile and @Raggy.
As I understood from your survey your rural hotel would be more than 1 km from the Camino? My impression is that offering pilgrim accomodation off the Camino can be quite a challenge. Of course it depends on how many alternatives pilgrims have, but it is something I would take into account.
Is your hotel (to be) away from villages or towns? That could make it even harder. I myself (but that is personal of course) often get bored somewhere late afternoon. Walking around town, visiting a chapel or a church, buy breakfast for the next morning, having a chat with pilgrims staying in other albergues or having a beer on a terrace is a nice distraction then.
All in all, I think you will need something 'extra' to offer. A communal meal, a nice garden with a terrace, hammocks, a little library, board games or music instruments to play, pods instead of bunks, a stunning view, a massage or whatever.
For me (I guess for being an introvert) that would be something I would try to avoid. Having to phone somebody (maybe disturbing that person), having to wait for a car, get into that car sweaty and dirty, having to chat. And then back to the camino the next day on a scedule as well.The only problem with this kind of set up is that unless you want to walk the extra distance, you are on someone else's schedule.
No wonder you're a BAD pilgrim!I answered! Now I want a goodie-bag!
